A British Sovereign is a gold coin minted by the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, first introduced in 1489 and modernized in 1817. It is made of 91.67% pure gold (22 carats), weighs 7.98 grams, and contains 7.32 grams of pure gold. The obverse typically features a portrait of the reigning monarch, while the reverse often displays the iconic St. George slaying the dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci. Valued for its historical significance and gold content, Sovereigns are used for investment, collecting, and as legal tender (though their market value far exceeds their nominal face value). They are widely recognized and traded globally.
